18While it is true that Article 21(2) of the Charter lays down the principle of non-discrimination on grounds of nationality, it must nonetheless be borne in mind that Article 52(2) thereof provides that rights recognised by the Charter for which provision is made in the Treaties are to be exercised under the conditions and within the limits defined by those Treaties. In that vein, Article 21(2) of the Charter corresponds to the first paragraph of Article 18 TFEU, as confirmed by the explanations on the Charter of Fundamental Rights (OJ 2007 C 303, p. 17) relating to that provision, and must be applied in accordance with that article (see, by analogy, judgment of 4 July 2013, Gardella, C‑233/12, EU:C:2013:449, paragraph 39).
